Amherst Island (Kingston area) - This bird just showed up yesterday and I was determined to try for it having missed others in Ontario over the years. A Western species, one shows up every few years somewhere but it was always too far. This one was within reach. Morning light was against me today so it was over an hour before I managed to get anything worthwhile and this, part of a sequence three hours later, was when I said goodbye. By the way, identified as male because it sang.

I'm surprised we have so few House Finch uploads. Delta, BC during a snowfall.

This bird eluded us for most of the winter but briefly reappeared in an area where we could observe it. The Great Gray is truly a woodland owl but likes to hunt the edges when it can. In this case it rarely came to the roadside. We identified it as a first year bird based on the pointed rather than rounded tail tips and pale rather than dark-tipped primaries. I last saw it early in January.

Ottawa - A rare winter visitor for us. They get one or two each winter, one of the very few in Ontario.

Algonquin Provincial Park - Some of the jays (renamed Canada Jay a couple of years ago) are already nesting but a few were on one trail taking advantage of handouts.

Val-d'Or – I was going through some of my trip files from northern Quebec earlier this month and recall the conditions when we found the ptarmigan. It was rough, a far cry from where we are today thankfully. Discovering a flock close to the road on the second day, after hours of searching was a thrill I'll always remember.

Amherst Island (Kingston area) - I returned this afternoon to check on this Western rarity and after three tries at locating it I had success. This species likes to hunt from low perches like fences and drop to the ground. At one point it got very close to my car.

Amherst Island (Kingston area) - I was pleasantly surprised to find nearly a dozen Short-eareds cruising a couple of favourite areas. There was a good number during the winter but a few could remain to breed. I had a couple of them close by while I was watching the Say's Phoebe.
